How many years can an electric scooter generally last?

[VonAndres]

Generally speaking, an electric scooter can last for 3 to 5 years. However, to accurately assess the lifespan of an electric scooter, factors such as the distance traveled, the extent of damage, and battery maintenance must be considered. Reasons for premature battery aging: 1. Severe battery sulfation damage: Many owners lack awareness of battery maintenance, leading to severe sulfation damage. They often wait until the battery can barely function before seeking repairs, which makes restoration more difficult. Regular maintenance every six months can significantly extend the battery's lifespan, but owners often neglect this. Most battery damage starts with over-dehydration caused by the charger. 2. Avoid deep discharging: Riding without deep discharging naturally prolongs the battery's life. For a new battery, it's advisable to recharge when the power level drops to just above the red light indicator, but never ride until the battery is fully depleted. Each deep discharge shortens the battery's lifespan, and even a new battery can quickly fail after just 10 deep discharges. Always recharge promptly to avoid deep discharging.
